Franklin, I am a descendant to the Aven's. I was wondering what it would cost to have someone take pictures of the headstones of the Aven family buried in the Ozark City cemetery. I would much apreciate some pictures. Thank you for your time. Judy

No. This book I've done will cover the old businesses of Ozark. It has photo's of the old businesses, bridges, mills, schools, etc. I will be doing a book on all the towns in Christian County. Then, after all the books are done, I'll be going back and doing a second book of some sort for all the towns again. Covering additional information. I'm still collecting information for the next book later on. This book will cost $19.99, 128 pages, and there will be 1200 in the first print. Thanks, Michelle

Is the book general information about the arear, or does it contain genealogy related material: cemeteries, outstanding known settlers and so on. I am seraching the SHARP's that settled in Sparta, Christian County, MO. Thank You. Ira Sharp Dennis in Amarillo, Texas.

Someone recently ask me if I could identify two old graves on fieldstones which had eroded beyond reading on their property a couple of miles northeast of Sparta. Old-timers in the area told the family a lot of work mules used to be kept on the place in a large barn beside a big spring. She said her family often finds muleshoes when they dig around the place. The 1912 platbook shows that in 1912, the place was owned (along with many, many hundreds of other acres) by Robert E. Lee, who at that time was Mayor of Springfield. He was the oldest son of Joshua Lorenza and Cynthia Perry (Hepler) Lee. J. L. Lee had begun the J. L. Lee Tie and Timber Company in the early 1880's. The Lee (& later Hobart-Lee) company was the county's largest employer for a number of years. Joshua and Cynthia had nine children, raising three sons and two daughters. One of the four children who died young, a boy named Perry, is buried in Chadwick. The family came from Thomasville, Davidson County, North Carolina to Marshfield, Webster County, Missouri in 1869 where Mr. Lee ran a store. They went to Waco, Texas a couple of years in the 1870's, returned to Marshfield, then Chadwick, then Springfield, all the time building up land holdings and timber and mining rights. In 1891, J. L. Lee suffered a stroke in Lead Hill, Arkansas and became largely disabled. Soon afterward, Robert E. Lee was named President of the company and a partnership with a Mr. Hobart changed the name of the company to Hobart-Lee Company - I'm unsure whether the words "tie", "timber" or "lumber" were in the name, as I've seen a variety of combinations. Anyway, the company also owned a number of lead mines in the general area where the timber was being cleared for bridge timbers, railroad ties, and wood for other uses including lumber and firewood. J. L. Lee died of a second stroke in 1894, and Robert E. Lee and his brother Albert Sidney "Bert" Lee were officers of the company for a number of years. Because most of the family is buried in Hazelwood or Maple Park Cemetery in Springfield, I feel sure that these graves are not Lee graves. I would suspect that they would more likely be those of company employees. Does anyone know the name of the "cemetery" - it's just two graves - or the identify of those buried in this cemetery. It's not far from the Grayston/Johnson Cemetery, but it's not that one. The stones there are new and the identity of those buried there is known.

I don't know who all heard from Paul Johns and/or Wayne Glenn about the opportunity to say farewell to the nearly hundred-year old Riverdale Bridge. Since I was asked to help publicize the last community reunion while the bridge stands, I thought I could best do that by forwarding the following - written by Mr. Johns - to the group: Riverdale Reunion Scheduled before Historic Bridge is Torn Down One of the oldest standing iron bridges in Christian County is to be disassembled before the end of the year. Built in 1906 as the first bridge spanning the Finley River southwest of Ozark, it will be replaced by a safer new one, the Christian County Commissioners have announced. Located just east of Highway 160 on Pawnee Road about 4 miles south of Nixa, the bridge was the center of the old Riverdale community. Family picnics, swimming, baseball games, square dances, baptisms, fishing and "courting" were only a few of the numerous traditional events that made Riverdale and its connecting bridge a significant part of Ozarks Americana. On Sunday afternoon, September 14th from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m., the gates to the old Riverdale Park will be opened one more time for an old-fashioned reunion of Riverdale residents, past and present. This special day will give anyone with pleasant memories one last chance to have their picture taken at Riverdale with old friends, including the soon-to-be-departed bridge!!! Remember to BRING YOUR CAMERA!!!
